Out With The Old: Prepping Your Mindset For 2026

Hey, Godre Sphere. Hi. Hi. Hi. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Hello, hello. I'm letting folks kind of trickle in here. I know that it is a holiday Eve. It is Christmas Eve. And for those that celebrate, merry, merry. I am currently at our lake home and we just got a new furnace because our furnace went out last week and it has been really cold here. Hello, junk food junkie. And I think our coldest morning that we had was 39 degrees when we woke up. So it has been really cold inside and cold outside.

So I am coming to you live. My hands are shaking because I'm still pretty cold. Coming to you live from the bedroom because the furnace guys are just finishing up. So it is a little bit chilly in here. And so I am kind of hunkered down in one of the bedrooms so that I could have an nice conversation with you all today and let them kind of finish up their work and do their thing. So if I'm a little all over the place with my hand and my shakiness and all of that, that's why it is just starting to warm up in here.

So really, really blessed to be able to have some heat over Christmas. And the furnace is not something that is always fun to replace. But we are going to be very happy when we can peel back some of the layers that we've been wearing. So welcome, welcome. Christy Larson here. Excited folks. And like I said, if you are a celebrator, yes. Christmas Eve. Merry, merry. Yeah. Live from the icy cold bedroom. I'm not lying. It's the absolute truth. It got up to 57 and I started clapping and just wanted to go out and hug the guys, but they're busy.

So I will let them. I will let them finish doing what they're doing. So the other day I would. The. The thing that I was thinking about and kind of got me on this, like, what do we want to carry with us into 2026? And it was something. I was watching a show and I can't remember what it was on, but there was a gentleman on there talking. He had done over, I don't know, hiked over 200 and some miles or something somewhere and I can't remember where. So I apologize. But he was talking about, and he brought to the show that I was watching the backpack that he had.

Hi Speak Wonder. He had brought with him the backpack that he had and he was showing the folks that were, were interviewing him and he was talking about things that he, he packed and had to carry every single day. And he started talking about the the what he wanted, what he knew he needed to have and what he knew he wanted to have. Right. So the things that you want to carry with you. And so that got me thinking, like, gosh, that's a really great question. Like, what if I was going somewhere, what would I want to take?

What would I feel like were the things that I wanted to carry with me every single day? Right. And trek the hikes that he did, the 30, 25, 30 mile hikes that he did and trek those hikes and carry whatever he had in that backpack with him every day. And that got me thinking into, like, what do I want to carry into 2026? And I know I've talked about this before and I think some of the things that I've learned about myself this year, going through some of the hardships that I did in a business closing that I absolutely loved a job, losing a job I absolutely loved losing the people around me every single day that I love just in, in the sense of not being able to see them every day and you know, healthcare struggles with my mom.

I mean, there was a lot of things in 2025 that I'm glad I get to leave behind and I get to move past those things and I'm really, really happy about that. And there's things that I'm really excited to carry with me in 2026. I forged some new relationships. I have love and support from family and friends. I feel like there's a group of folks that I'm close with that I can relate to and bring my authentic self every time that I get to hang out with them and see them. I'm resilient, I'm strong. I was thinking about 2026 word of the year and this kind of stemmed from the Cadre sphere asking, what's your 2026 word of the year?

And mine just happened to be abundance. And I got that, that, that word abundance to me is a lot about love, support and abundance of growth and understanding, but also an abundance of clarity and stillness and guidance. Right. And really thinking about some of those things that in 2026 I want an abundance of. I want those things in my lives. And so I'm really excited to, to kind of look ahead into 2026 and think about all of the great things that are going to happen, all the things I'm going to learn, not only the world around us.

And so live from starting to warm up bedroom here in Wisconsin. Yeah. Number one thing always carry with me is show kindness towards my God. I love that. So much. That is, that is amazing. And yes, 100% show kindness because that's one thing that's free and we can do that and it gives. Gives others that that same gift of kindness. Right? So I am going to warm my hands up a little bit, go over to one of the heat vents and warm myself up a little bit. But Merry Christmas Eve if you celebrate Christmas Eve and or celebrate Christmas, I guess a Merry Christmas tomorrow if you do celebrate.

I know there are lots of us in the Cadre sphere that do. So Merry Christmas to those of you and Happy Holidays to those of you that celebrate other holidays. So take care Cadre sphere. Be well, be kind to one another and junk food junkie kindness towards everyone. 100%. So have a great rest of your day. I'm gonna go warm up. The next time you see me, I'm gonna be toasty warm because this place is gonna really start. We're gonna keep that heat up. So take care God sphere. Have a great day. And again, Merry Christmas if you celebrate.

Happy holidays. Bye everybody.
